I was not too sure what is the best name shall i given to this fried chicken recipe. At last, I decided to call it as Malaysian Lemongrass fried chicken since I use all local herbs especially lemongrass and fresh turmeric are very common in Malaysia. This is my best deep fried chicken recipe, I like to serve this fried chicken in a party (in my son Lucas's 10th Birthday party), and my kids very often requested me to make this fried chicken for them.
This fried chicken is crispy and succulent, there is a secret tip that taught by my mom, add some water when coat with rice flour.
The marinate ingredients-shallots, ginger, fresh turmeric, onion and lemongrass.
Salivate while looking at this? Try it out then, I'm sure you will love this fried chicken.

Tried this lemongrass fried chicken, I think I made a mistake the Seasonings should be added to the chicken instead of the lemongrass. End up I sprinkle salt on the coated flour chicken.
Fragrant chicken and i will try again.
Tks
I am cooking this for dinner. Hopefully my fried chicken will turn up as well as yours. I am not good at deep frying food. Looking forward to my dinner tonite. Thanks for the recipe. :o)
Hi, must say the pictures of the fried wings looked really tempting and have actually bookmarked it for ref some time back. Saw your CNY potluck pics and decided to marinate 2 chicken thighs but choose to grill it for a healthier choice. Somehow, mine turned out lacking the lemongrass fragrant, but was tasty.. Something gone wrong? I hv some leftover marinates, any suggestions of what I can use it for?
I agree that the lemongrass flavor did not come through for me too. And I found the batter lacking in flavor and was a little too sweet. =(
Hi Sonia, I will be preparing this for a gathering tomorrow. Can I use glutinous rice flour instead of rice flour? Thanks!
I've just had this for lunch a few hours ago and I'm of the opinion too, that it isn't very lemongrass-y. Could hardly taste it. Putting the flour in even with water, makes the skin a tad too hard and the wings generally lacks flavour despite following the recipe to the T. I would try again but the next time, I'll omit the flour altogether and just before frying, smother the wings with a bit more salt.
If it's strictly based on this recipe, the taste is not exactly worth the time nor effort.
Hi,
I'm going to pin this as a recipe idea, but I think the recipe will need some amendments. The marinade has very little liquid, only 1 Tbsp fish sauce + 1 tsp sesame oil, with a lot of crushed and chopped stuff. Then there is 3/4 cup of flour with 1/4 cup of water, which I'm sure would make a very thick batter, but the picture looks as though the wings are just lightly floured. And the writer says just to mix it all together with the chicken?? Where are the chunks of chopped onion and shreds of lemongrass?
I like the flavours involved though, so I'm prepared to use this as a starting point, and see what happens.
Thanks.
